So, my java fern aren’t looking to good. I have a green thumb outside of aquatic plants apparently😂 I’m not actively trying to kill it, and both of my plants are attached to a price of driftwood. I’ve heard of using crushed eggshells for aquatic plant fertilizer, is this safe for axolotls? My LFS is all out of any water column fertilizer, so I would prefer to make my own. Does anyone know if eggshell powder or onion peels is safe for axolotls?

Eggshell would be fine but really its all calcium.

The only type of fertilizers you can use and sparingly in an axolotl tank are shrimp safe. Others contain copper which is not axolotl safe.

Okay! Thank you! I already responded more in the other thread. To wrap this thread up, i think I’ll try again with plants once I have a bit more experience, and my tank is fully cycled and running well.

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
